All Rights Reserved. 21st Century Student Outcomes & Support Systems The P21 Framework for 21st Century Learning was developed with input from educators, education experts, and business leaders to define and illustrate the skills, knowledge, expertise, and support systems that students need to succeed in work, life, and citizenship. The Framework continues to be used by thousands of educators and hundreds of schools in the U.S. and abroad to put 21st century skills at the center of learning. All elements of the Framework are critical to ensure 21st century readiness for every student. When a school, district, or state builds on this foundation, combining knowledge and skills with the necessary support systems of standards, assessments, curriculum and instruction, professional development, and learning environments, students are more engaged in the learning process and graduate better prepared to thrive in today’s digitally and globally interconnected world. © 2019, Battelle for Kids. All Rights Reserved. KEY SUBJECTS & 21ST CENTURY THEMES Mastery of key subjects and 21st century themes is essential to student success. Key subjects include English, reading, or language arts, world languages; arts; mathematics, economics; science; geography; history; government; and civics. In addition, schools must promote an understanding of academic content at much higher levels by weaving 21st century interdisciplinary themes into key subjects: • Global Awareness • Financial, Economic, Business, and Entrepreneurial Literacy • Civic Literacy • Health Literacy • Environmental Literacy LEARNING & INNOVATION SKILLS Learning and innovation skills are what separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in today’s world and those who are not. These skills include: • Creativity and Innovation • Critical Thinking and Problem Solving • Communication • Collaboration INFORMATION, MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY SKILLS Today, we live in a technology and media-driven environment, marked by access to an abundance of information, rapid changes in technology tools, and the ability to collaborate and make individual contributions on an unprecedented scale. Effective citizens and workers must be able to exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills, such as: • Information Literacy • Media Literacy • ICT (Information, Communications, and Technology) Literacy LIFE & CAREER SKILLS Today’s students need to develop thinking skills, content knowledge, and social and emotional competencies to navigate complex life and work environments. P21’s essential Life and Career Skills include: • Flexibility and Adaptability • Initiative and Self-Direction • Social and Cross-Cultural Skills • Productivity and Accountability • Leadership and Responsibility 21st Century Support Systems 21st century learning requires an innovative support system to engage learners through applicable skills and knowledge, appropriate technologies, and real-world connections to make learning relevant, personalized, and engaging. P21 has identified five critical support systems to ensure all students receive the kinds of learning experiences that build 21st century competency: • 21st Century Standards • Assessments of 21st Century Skills • 21st Century Curriculum and Instruction • 21st Century Professional Development • 21st Century Learning Environments About the Partnership for 21st Century Learning The Partnership for 21st Century Learning recognizes that all learners need educational experiences in school and beyond, from cradle to career, to build knowledge and skills for success in a globally and digitally interconnected world. Representing over 5 million members of the global workforce, P21 unites business, government, and education leaders from the U.S. and abroad to advance evidence-based education policy and practice and to make innovative teaching and learning a reality for all. P21 and member organizations provide tools and resources that help facilitate and drive this necessary change.

    1Gary Middle College 21st Century Charter School at Gary GEO Next Generation High School-Indianapolis COVID-19 Fall 2021 Learning/Reopening Plan Integrated ESSER III Plan DRAFT – for public comment Email comments to: [email protected] Date of Last Update: May 27, 2021 Summary All Indiana GEO Academies have implemented a robust plan for faculty, students and families to return to in person school for the 2021-2022 school year. You can't have a full recovery without full-strength schools. Increased vaccination opportunities combined with unfortunate learning loss, as documented by 2020-2021 assessment results, prove the need and the ability for the return to in-person education. However, GEO Academies also acknowledge that some families found virtual learning to be the best option for their students, and therefore we will also offer a virtual option - with certain provisions - for those families that found virtual learning to be a success. This plan was designed using all information currently available from the Indiana State Department of Health, the Indiana Department of Education, and the Center for Disease Control; however, it is subject to change at any time. STAKEHOLDER INPUT: ● In an effort to capture the input and needs of our families, a survey was administered that provided the district with an understanding of the preferred learning environment for the 2021-2022 school year. This survey is in addition to the outreach that was conducted from each school which included; calls, emails, Facebook Live sessions, and Parent Universities. The results from the survey revealed that the majority of families are ready to return to in- person instruction with a very small percentage wanting to remain fully virtual.

Drawing on participant observation of three such meetings and a multi-method ethnography of the larger field, I place these meetings in context as experimental deliberative demonstrations during a time of ferment regarding declining citizen capacity in the United States. AmericaSpeaks’ town meetings were branded as politically authentic alternatives to ordinary politics, but as participatory methods and empowerment discourses became popular with a wide variety of public and private actors, the organization failed to find a sustainable business model.

This in fact was what Japan had hoped and striven for Asia throughout the postwar period. However, the emergence of China and other devel- opments have eclipsed Japan’s presence in Asia, so that Japan can no longer claim an unchallenged posi- tion even in economic matters. While 21st century Asia stands proud as the growth center for the world economy, there are undeniable signs that this region is becoming the stage for a new power game that is now unfolding. How is Japan to live and prosper in this environment? In the final analysis, the 21st cen- tury signifies the advent of a new age that can no longer be understood in terms of the “postwar” construct. I. The Koizumi Cabinet and Asia 1. Breaking Free of Conventional Wisdom with Bold Actions Before assuming the post of prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi was long considered to be a maverick within a Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) dominated by the Keiseikai Group (Takeshita Faction), which claimed the postal business lobby as a powerful source of support.

  • Iraq War? Current Situation and Issues for Congress
    Order Code RL31715 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Iraq War? Current Situation and Issues for Congress Updated February 26, 2003 Raymond W. Copson (Coordinator) Specialist in International Relations Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Iraq War? Current Situation and Issues for Congress Summary On November 8, 2002, the United Nations Security Council, acting at U.S. urging, adopted Resolution 1441, giving Iraq a final opportunity to “comply with its the disarmament obligations” or “face serious consequences.” During January and February 2003, the U.S. military buildup in the Persian Gulf continued, and analysts speculated that mid-March seemed the most likely time for U.S. forces to launch a war. President Bush, other top U.S. officials, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair have repeatedly indicated that Iraq has little time left to offer full cooperation with U.N. weapons inspectors. However, leaders of France, Germany, Russia, and China, are urging that the inspections process be allowed more time. The Administration asserts that Iraq is in defiance of 17 Security Council resolutions requiring that it fully declare and eliminate its weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Skeptics, including many foreign critics, maintain that the Administration is exaggerating the Iraqi threat. In October 2002, Congress authorized the President to use the armed forces of the United States to defend U.S. national security against the threat posed by Iraq and to enforce all relevant U.N. resolutions regarding Iraq (P.L. 107-243). Some Members of Congress have expressed dissatisfaction with the level of Administration consultation on Iraq, and suggested that the Administration should provide more information on why Iraq poses an immediate threat requiring early military action.
